We Want Lego Rooms, Where's Our Lego Rooms?

So you read that T Magazine story about Dinder House, that 40-room Georgian manor in BF Somerset or wherever England, and you get to the end, and what is the one thing you want to see?:

At Crawford's suggestion, they turned the ballroom into the kitchen and created a Lego room. If a room with a perfect view dedicated to Lego sounds ostentatious, it isn't here; it's used daily.

Am I right? Lego room? And then there's no picture of it.

Well, I couldn't find it online, but I did find this sweet candid shot of the exterior, including the porch which features enough plastic ride-on vehicles to make you wonder what happened to the carriage house. Also, one garbage bag. You stay classy, Somerset!

Between the lousy set of shots in that T magazine and the awful redesign of the NYT Magazine (not to mention the loss of The Medium, Cohen as the Ethicist, and On Language), I cancelled my subscription. Now I can use the savings to build my own freakin' Lego room and not take photos of it.
